Photos of the Athletes for Africa event have been posted on Justin’s Facebook Fan page along with a special thank you message from Justin:

Thank you to all of you who donated for ATHLETES FOR AFRICA – the event was full of joy and laughter for me. Thank you also to Athletes for Africa and TEAM Maple Music for having me : )

[UPDATE @ 12:21AM] Justin’s goal has been surpassed! Great work everyone and I’m sure that Justin is very appreciative of your support.  There’s still time to donate if you haven’t yet!

On August 14^th, Justin will participate in Athletes for Africa’s Rock The Pitch soccer tournament.  The event will take place at Lamport Stadium in west Toronto at 10:30am.

The cause is extremely important to Justin as expressed by his own words below:

I imagine myself as a child in the midst of war. To witness the slaughter of people I love… to be born into such a situation.

Wow…I’ve had nightmares, but to experience this as reality is unimaginable.
I do very much want to be part of planting/watering the seeds of peace and love, and to fight for us to enjoy life as a collective on this Earth. There’s NO REASON why we ALL shouldn’t be given the right to enjoy our lives. I have faith in LIFE, and that we can collectively experience LOVE together in a world of harmony.

I believe the strongest forms of love come from the strongest of suffering and in that belief, the war child is who will lead us to real love. PEACE
